United States 1974 - 1 Dollar Federal Reserve Note, Chicago District Paper Jam Error (Friedberg 1908-G, GD Block)

This 1974 1 Dollar Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District (Friedberg 1908-G, GD Block) presents a distinct Paper Jam Error-an uncommon and revealing production mishap that occurs when the currency paper fails to feed smoothly through the intaglio press or overprint unit. The result is a wrinkled or crumpled section of paper that becomes permanently flattened into the design, often distorting part of the printed image or leaving telltale creases and folds embedded beneath the ink.

United States 1988A - 1 Dollar Federal Reserve Note Chicago District Insufficient Inking Error (Friedberg 1915-G)

The 1 Dollar denomination, with its heavy circulation and massive print runs, seldom survives as a premium-grade error. Most such notes were either detected during automated inspection or worn beyond recognition in use. This piece, certified PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated, stands out for both its clarity and originality-showing crisp embossing, bright paper, and fully intact margins. It represents the foundational denomination in a complete study of Insufficient Inking Errors across modern U.S. currency.

United States 1935D 1 Dollar Silver Certificate showing Butterfly Fold Error with upper left corner folded and partially printed, PMG 58 EPQ Choice About Uncirculated, blue seal issue signed by Clark and Snyder

United States 1935D - 1 Dollar Silver Certificate Butterfly Fold Error (Friedberg 1613W, IF Block)

This 1935D 1 Dollar Silver Certificate (Friedberg 1613W, IF Block) presents an exceptional Butterfly Fold Error, a visually dramatic mechanical mishap that occurred during the printing process at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. A portion of the note’s corner was inadvertently folded over before printing, causing part of the design to print on the folded flap while leaving a blank triangular void once the paper was unfolded. The result is a note that physically displays the three-dimensional evidence of its own creation error.
